There may be one...the chinese folk land deity/god who is mostly portrayed as seated and rarely standing, carrying a dragon staff or a plain walking stick (depending on who's doing his iconography), in full traditional chinese robes, a small flat hat or none at times and demeanour of an old man and rarely paired with his lesser spouse known as the 'grandmother of earth/land' or sometimes he is represented by just a wooden/stone tablet with chinese words describing his name and function... more images here

Hello and thanks for that. Good deductive reasoning... but I think that is not him.

Oriental Buddha Park (东方影剧院) houses replicas from all over Asia... maybe they just got this one wrong?The famous replicas of Bodhisattvas and Bamiyan buddhas etc. all seem to be good replicas though.But who knows... Buddhist blessing ceremonies are actively performed at the site to bring harmony and remove negative energy.The site actually has some rather dark beginnings and was utilized as a means for cashing in on tourist traffic.But in the years that followed the site has become a place for pilgramage as well as tourism.

Anyway, if this is discoved to be your patron protector that watches over you... it is said that your prayers should go to Guanyin\Avalokitesvara.As I initially heard the name wrong and then later couldn't recall it... I later considered that this could be from Vajrayana Buddhism, maybe it is Dainichi Nyorai\Vairocana or Acalanatha... but it didn't seem to match. If no one knows who it is... maybe it isn't anyone?

He has some sort of prior history of being invovled with the people and is a favored protector under Guanyin... after enlightenment and becoming a protector he remained rather recluse.

He is said to lay with his back on the mountain with his dragon staff to his side.He watches in solitude as people pass by... he intervenes when travellers are preyed upon or if he witnesses injustices.He is intolerant to the strong abusing the weak.He requires no thanks or prayers... prayers should be made to Guanyin.

If I ever (and I'm sure someday I will) learn more of him... I'll post it here.
